Happy Birthday Diane! Welcome to paradise.

Woke at 8am and as quickly as we could, packed up and moved to our new room.

Fortunatley it was ready and waiting for us - so nice to see when we opened the door!

We sorted out our stuff, I gave Di her present (she wasn't expecting it, bless her) then after handing a big bag of washing to our new owner (they do it over here for 40 baht per kilo) we headed straight for the beach - HEAVEN!

Blue sky, the sea lapping up on the shore, soft sand between our toes - and we even managed to get some free sunloungers outside a bar!

After a day of nothing more taxing than walking to the sea, we retired back to our room for a cold shower (you get used to them after a while) and to get ready for Di's big night.

She had read about a mexican restaurant here called Gringo's, so we were gonna treat ourselves to a nice meal then a BNO (big night out).

However after stuffing our faces with nacho's and faijita's (everything is spicy over it - it was beautiful) and drinking a jug of Strawberry Margarita's we eneded up feeling too full. We tried to walk it off a bit, but after trying unsuccesfully to have a drink in a bar on the strip, we decided to abort mission and have the BNO tomorrow instead when we wern't feeling as full and could drink.

Two day Birthday for Diane - lucky girl!
